Foundational Social Media Analytics For Research

In Britain, more than half of 12- to 15-year-olds are on Instagram, according to OfCom (pdf), the country's communications regulator. So are 43% of 8- to 11-year-olds. But how many of them understand what they signed when they joined? Pretty much 0%, according to "Growing Up Digital", a report released Jan. 5 (pdf) by the UK Children's Commissioner.

"Are you sure this is necessary? There are like, 100 pages," said one 13-year-old who was asked to read Instagram's terms of service. (Actually 17 pages, with 5,000 words, but still plenty.)

For the report, Jenny Afia, a privacy law expert at Schillings, a UK-based law firm, rewrote Instagram's terms of service in child-friendly language ( see page 10). Here are some of the paragraphs-the emphasis is ours:

- Officially you own any original pictures and videos you post, but we are allowed to use them, and we can let others use them as well, anywhere around the world. Other people might pay us to use them and we will not pay you for that.

- [...] we may keep, use and share your personal information with companies connected with Instagram. This information includes your name, email address, school, where you live, pictures, phone number, your likes and dislikes, where you go, who your friends are, how often you use Instagram, and any other personal information we find such as your birthday or who you are chatting with, including in private messages (DMs).

- We might send you adverts connected to your interests which we are monitoring. You cannot stop us doing this and it will not always be obvious that it is an advert.

- We can change or end Instagram, or stop you accessing Instagram at any time, for any reason and without letting you know in advance. We can also delete posts and other content randomly, without telling you, for any reason. If we do this, we will not be responsible for paying out any money and you won't have any right to complain.

- We can force you to give up your username for any reason.

- We can, but do not have to, remove, edit, block and/or monitor anything posted or any accounts that we think breaks any of these rules. We are not responsible if somebody breaks the law or breaks these rules; but if you break them, you are responsible.

"...[I]f they made it more easy then people would actually read it and think twice about the app," said another 13-year-old girl after being shown the revised policy. "One-third of internet users are children, but the internet wasn't created for children," Afia points out.

Of course, it's not just kids who struggle; according to the report, only people with postgraduate levels of education could properly understand Instagram's terms and conditions.

Afia thinks that once people become more aware of what they are giving up, they will demand better terms. But will they? Plenty of adults, after all, are signing similar terms and conditions without demanding that they be changed. Afia explains her optimism thus: "They don't know what is being done, so no one is saying can it be done differently."

So what can parents do?

The rewritten privacy policy in the report is a good starting point for parents to be able to talk to their kids about what they are signing away. Instagram created this parents' guide, produced with ConnectSafely.org, a nonprofit. A spokeswoman said the company offers parents and kids plenty of help: "We recognize in many cases, when people need help, they want it when they're using the app. That is why we go beyond our terms and guidelines to offer in-app safety and privacy help-from reporting, to industry-leading comment tools and self-help resources."

In the UK at least, Afia says, laws also exist that allow parents to find out what information companies have about their children and with whom they are sharing it. "But they don't ask," she says. "No one is asking and no one is holding them to account."

In addition, the report includes advice and links to other resources for parents. For instance, it says:

the UK Safer Internet Centre has a "guide to technology" for parents.

A project called Net Aware offers a parents' guide to popular apps kids are using, and rates them on their privacy policy, among other things.

A guide from the American Pediatric Family Media Plan provides a tool for planning children's days so they get the right balance of online time and other activities.

Finally, the Children's Commissioner's report makes three policy recommendations.

The first is to create a compulsory "digital citizenship" program for kids aged 4 to 14, which would be led by older kids, and to a lesser degree, teachers. It would not focus on coding and algorithms, which are currently taught, but on how to protect your rights online and how to respect others' rights; how to disengage as well as engage online.

The class would be built around 5Rights, an idea created by Beeban Kidron, a film director who said children's online safety is "too vital to leave to the government." Those rights are:

the right to remove that which you have put up;

the right to know who has access to your data and for what purposes;

the right to safety and support, or knowing where to go when things go wrong;

the right to informed and conscious use, or knowing that the internet wants to keep you on it and how to avoid that;

the right to digital literacy, understanding the use and purpose of what you are using and/or creating.

The report's second policy recommendation is to implement the UK's General Data Protection Regulation by writing terms and conditions in a way children can understand. And the third is to create a new Children's Digital Ombudsman to liaise between parents and social media companies.

In practice, how such a person would have any leverage over the likes of Facebook remains to be seen. And it's hard to imagine the incoming US government, for example, adopting such a nanny-state measure. But as the report shows, there's plenty parents themselves can do without waiting for the government or the social-media companies to change their stance.

Reinventing Privacy Policy

After reading Andersons (2017) piece on Privacy policties with pining from parents and kids I thought it would be quite easy to re create my own privacy policy. This was definitely not the case. I found this the hardest excursive out of both Portfolios and really struggled to comprehend the assignment question.

My chosen media tool was snapchat because out of all the applications I use it would be the most important in my media world. Throughout my reinventing journey I had to keep the 5 rights in mind which was a great guide to have as headings.

I had a sense of accomplishment when I created my own Privacy Policy and when I have to read one for a new application I download in the future I will benefit from knowing what my rights are as a user.

Personal Strategy for my online presence?

The application is used for this infographic was Piktochart. It was a simplistic and creative way to produce my personal strategy and allowed me to think outside the box when it came to presentation.

I followed the provided YouTube videos and created a free account where I was given template options such as posters, reports and flyers but for this assignment I picked infographic. Piktochart provided me with numerous infographic templates to suit my needs. I knew for my personal strategy I would need 10 sections to display my information so I typed in numbers in the search bar which was an incredible application feature to be able to define my search.

I picked my set template and was able to edit it to suit my theme . I was able to include icons such as computers and other online icons to help add to the visual aid of the infographic. I made sure to keep my sentences short and sweet when it came to headings of my personal digital strategy as I did not want to have information overload at first sight. I included bullet points under each of my strategies to add extra information without overcrowding the display.

Overall it was an exciting experience to use Piktochart which I had never used before. I will definitely be using it in the future for project work as I think it saves an immense amount of time when trying to create a perfect display.

My Personal LinkedIn account Journey
(Linked above)

This was the most exciting exercise of my DigiLife experience and I was most looking forward to creating my own account. It has always been on my To Do List to create a Profile and E- Portfolio 2 allowed me to set it up the correct way.

I followed the YouTube videos provided in brightspace and started to create my account without any problems. I was asked for a few personal details and then was able to start editing my account. What I  loved about setting my profile was the help and advice I was getting off the application itself. Linked in were constantly guided me to additional resources to make my account better. E.g adding skills and previous job experience to my profile. As I first time user of linked in I was so impressed on how efficient the app was and I truly believe it was trying to present myself online in the best way possible.

It took around 20 minutes to set up my account and to log my previous work, school, and skills. I included one details such as time period of work and how I found the job. I then was able to connect with friends with the click of a button. I could see what college course they were doing and all of their pervious work placements which I found very interesting. It gave me ideas and motivation to keep expanding my own profile and building it up as I go on in life as having lots of work experience and skills is very attractive for future employers.

I also love the messaging feature on LinkedIn so I can congratulate my friends on new jobs and careers privately in chat or publicly on their page. This exercise will be beneficial for me in the short term and long term with careers opportunities and group projects. I can't wait to expand my profile and develop it over the coming years.

For this E-Portfolio the final component was to reflect on my learning experiences. Explaining what was hard or easy, what I would do differently if I had the chance and how I would use the tools in the future are all reflections I wrote about in my piece.

I submitted my reflection to Peer Scholar in the 'Create' section and then I was able to Assess another students work in the same module. I really enjoyed this part as every student take the question from a different perspective. I gave Constructive feedback to my peer and they received high star ratings as it was an extremely well written piece.

I then was able to go back to my own work and reflect on it in comparison to the Peer I had just reviewed. There was some minor changes I needed to make which I would not have noticed if I had not read my peers.

Once me YouTube account was created I was able to edit my first video. It was a very precise and technical tool that allowed me to cut seconds or even minutes out of my video.

The keyboard short cuts had every tool and feature for my editing it allowed me to slow down or speedup my editing. When my video was ready to be uploaded I made sure that it was only available to people who had a special link.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a free web cam recording and screen recorder which I used for my YouTube video. I had a few technical difficulties with this application as I could not get the software to download onto my Mac. But with the help of a step by step YouTube video I was able to resolve the problem.

Instantly I was able to screen record and use my own narration while recording. It allowed me to adjust my screen to make sure I got the perfect angles for what I wanted to record. I was able to review my work and stop and start to make sure I was happy with my work.

I then saved my work and uploaded it to YouTube where I had to allow access to be able to edit it.

My Mashup Map contains a handful of Hockey Clubs in Ireland that are register clubs with 'Hockey Ireland'. The Hockey clubs are represented as red with a stick symbol and each location point has an address, image of club logo and some locations have video footage of game highlights e.g Old Alex, Milltown.

Also Linked is Cricket Clubs of Ireland. It was interesting to see the locations of these clubs and if they were on the same grounds as hockey pitches. They are symbolised with a colourful location tag.

I used the UCD guide to help me through the process of creating this map.

Pinterest is a creative and visually outstanding app of discovery. The app flourishes in inspiration of any topic from food and health to the fashion in Sweden or even home design ideas. Having the opportunity to save and create visual boards of your favourite pictures and to be able to look back at them at any moment.

Pocket is also a web service and app that enables us to save the most intriguing articles and to look deeper into the publisher and other publications they may have. Stories and podcasts are from all over the world and include a numerous amount of topics from confidence boosting techniques to what actually happens when you return items of clothing.

Both these apps are extremely unique in their own way. Pinterest has less reading involved and rarely has links to articles. It is a way of visually describing you like in a simplistic style. It is an easy to use app that requires little previous knowledge only your true interests. Pocket on the other hand lets you explore academically and expand the knowledge you already have by constantly reading. In comparison to Pinterest it automatically saves your content into images, videos and articles instantly. With Pinterest they give you the freedom to organise your content however you like.

The one major similarity that both these apps have is the feature of saving or pining something you like for later. Both applications give you the opportunity to build up a collection of content so you can come back to it later. As well as this both applications allow you to follow your favourite publishers of photos or articles so you can read what you like making it very accessible.

This is my personal Pinterest account where you can find saved and liked items as well as my personalised and unique pin boards.  Setting up my account was very straight forward which made the app very appealing and really aided my work as a digital citizen.

I first created an account with my email and had to answer some personal questions such as my age, gender and language. I them was asked to select was I was interested in to make my Pinterest feed unique and suitable for me. I selected multiple topics from sport and recreation to hair tutorials and fashion. I was then free to start browsing and begin my Pinterest journey.

Pinterest for me offered so much creativity as I was able to organise my favourite images into boards and also follow my most liked Pinners. I have learnt so many more skills while using this app such following and communicating with people, repining which taking somebody else photo from their boards and posting it to one of your own.  I was able to use my own images and upload the to one of my boards E.g Fashion Board.

This is my personal Pocket account which I set up using my UCD google account. I followed step by step how to use and organise content from the YouTube videos linked to this 'DigiLife' module. This application was simple to set up and enabled me to discover and connect with friends.

I saved articles that I wanted to read or read at a later point and it also gave me the option to recommend, send to a friend and favourite. The articles with a click of a save button were saved to my homepage where overtime I had an accumulation of information to read. The discovery page also allowed me to read more articles from my liked publisher and see what else they had to offer.

What I found so interesting while using this app was the option to follow people which made me feel much more connected being able to see what my friends are reading. Pocket also enabled me to link my account to twitter and Facebook.

This is my Padlet account which has allowed me to upload my journey of my E-tutorial project activities and document the details in one place. This digital pin board was a new and innovative application for me that has expanded my digital skills for the future.

The sign up process was extremely easy and I used my UCD information to create my very first dashboard.  I was able to enjoy the process of this assignment as I could chose colours, backgrounds and pictures to suit me. The layout of Padlet and its customisation tools were very useful as it was easy to input links, photos, and videos with the click of a button.

This site allowed for so much freedom and creativity and really showcases my likes and talents. The mapping of information will be extremely useful for group projects and future presentations where I need all my information in one place. It was a really enjoyable process creating and publishing my Padlet account and I'm really proud that I have learnt the basic tools to use this application as I think it is the new virtual pin board that fits in perfectly to the 21st century way of thinking.
